So does anyone here have any experience playing the Sinking City? It's that Lovecraftian game by the guys who make the Sherlock Holmes games. It got pretty average reviews for most places it seems, in these days it probably seems best known for the battle between the developers and the publishers regarding money and who owns the game.
I noticed this morning the entire game with all the DLC is available for $16. Thinking about pulling the trigger, but just needed to know if anyone suggests staying the hell away from it or not.
Been playing Agent A. Good game, it's only £2 in the sale. I'd get it on a touch screen enabled device, but you can use sticks when playing on TV and it's not too different. It's like a cross between a 1st person graphic adventure and hidden object game. You basically sneak around this evil secret agents house which she has laid multiple clues and traps in. I'm not normally a puzzle fan but there's some great and LOGICAL puzzles here so I never feel cheated. Also if a game makes me break out a pen and notebook, you can tell I like it. Actually better buy it on switch, the photo and 30sec video capture are really helpful.
looking forward to impressions. I've had it on my wishlist for ages but never got around to actually buying it.
Its so cheap you might as well buy it and try it yourself. Ive started buying games at sales price and not even downloading them till I want to. Like a reservation. Here's a video review though: https://youtu.be/VehTqGTUMIE
Thanks GG. Still kind of up in the air on it. Seems like one of those games where if you enjoy the good stuff you can really overlook the technical issues. I'll probably just pass though. Not really in a gaming mood these days.

Yeah, but I have a policy of only buying games I have the intention of playing. I don't care if it's cheap, it's still money. I have GamePass to scratch that itch of always having something new to play.
Heads up, it's May day in Animal Crossing and they've set up a maze. It's much harder than last year. I've had to restart 4 times already.

I see. I'll play these games. Ironically it's the longer games I'll probably never finish. Most adventure games are 7-10hrs.

I'm the same, I wanted it for ages when it was on sale but the janky combat puts me off.
Finished Agent A. Really enjoyed this game from start to finish. Pick it up next time it's on sale 😁
Oh shoot I went and did it, bought my first hidden object game: Nightmares from the Deep 2. Heard it was recommended. I've tried demos before and they play like 1st person graphic adventures. But this is what I was worried about.... no cursor speed option. Only £1.34. Edit: sweet, good solid cursor speed. Art is awesome, better than most graphic adventures. Game almost reminds a bit of Resident evil at times, when you're reading diaries and messing with equipment.
State of Mind, this adventure game by Daedalic is £1.59 on the eshop. It got good reviews. Just nabbed it

But you make it sound better than the original.

Prince is one of my favourites and even so I HATED that chapter.
You should hate it because you are a fan of Prince.
Being a fan of many of the things in the original, you'll have to explain why that didn't make you hate it.
I see. I'll play these games. Ironically it's the longer games I'll probably never finish. Most adventure games are 7-10hrs.
I'm the same, I wanted it for ages when it was on sale but the janky combat puts me off.You may love this but you have to battle seven iterations of Prince with Morris Day.
the subheader might as well have read 'the sky is blue' or any other similarly shoking reveal
The sky is currently black.
Just the inspiration I needed to find the original video with English subtitles.
I mean, RIP.
